2 Bruno and Shin: Capital Flows, Cross-Border Banking and Global Liquidity 1 Gross Capital Flows Capital flows driven by real (saving & investment) decisions? Gross versus net flows [L]arge gross financial flows entail potential stability risks that may be only distantly related, if related at all, to the global configuration of saving-investment discrepancies. Maurice Obstfeld (2012 Ely Lecture)

3 Bruno and Shin: Capital Flows, Cross-Border Banking and Global Liquidity 2 Trillion Dollars Liabilities: Foreign official assets in United States (line 56) Liabilities: Foreign claims on U.S. non-banks (line 68) Liabilities: Foreign claims on U.S. banks and securities brokers (line 69) Liabilities: Foreign private holding of U.S. securities other than Treasurys (line 66) Assets: US holding of foreign securities (line 52) Assets: Claims of U.S. nonbanks on foreigners (line 53) Assets: Claims of U.S. banks and securities brokers on foreigners (line 54) Figure 1. US gross capital flows by category (Source: US Bureau of Economic Analysis). Increase in US liability to foreigners is indicated by positive bar, increase in US claims on foreigners is indicated by negative bar.

This figure plots cross-border banking sector capital flows as year-on-year growth in external claims of BIS-reporting banks (Table 7A). The VIX series is the quarterly average of CBOE VIX index.

Two candidate hypotheses: Regulatory environment: circumvention of Basel I, impending Basel II and EU Capital Adequacy Directive (CAD) Advent of Euro opened up cross-border banking market within the eurozone

28 Bruno and Shin: Capital Flows, Cross-Border Banking and Global Liquidity 27 Explaining Deleveraging Value at risk (VaR) at confidence level relative to some base level 0 is smallest non-negative number such that Prob ( 0 ) 1 Equity meets total Value-at-Risk (Adrian and Shin (2012)) = = is Unit VaR (Value-at-Risk per dollar of assets). Leverage satisfies = 1

29 Bruno and Shin: Capital Flows, Cross-Border Banking and Global Liquidity 28 Empirical implication: ln = ln so that ln ln 1 = (ln ln 1 ) (*) Scatter chart of leverage changes against unit VaR changes should have slope 1. Evidence?
